KAZADI about her style

The Best of X-factor

Although she landed her first role in a music video just a couple of months later, her career story wasn’t as easy later on. After 13 years of performing in theatres all over Poland and auditioning for roles in TV and ads, she finally booked the main role on a national television show. The show was taken off air after just two years but she didn’t give up. She continued fighting for her dream, auditioning and training herself. A couple of roles later her career took off after she was offered to take part in a show called “Soapstar Superstar”.

Since then she has appeared in 14 tv series and 4 feature films.

Becoming the first Black in Poland to ever be a lead in a feature film and be on the cover of such magazines as
COSMOPOLITAN or GLAMOUR.

At the age of 17 she became the youngest host in TVN history (hosting 3 different shows and developing her own show on one of the channels as a producer, host and writer). At the same time she also worked for MTV Europe, traveling to such countries as Israel or Bulgaria. At the age of 21 she was offered to host a prime time show
“So You Think You Can Dance” – licensed from FOX and watched each week by millions of viewers. Again as the youngest host in the history of the show worldwide.

She also had the honor to host Simon Cowell’s hit show “X-Factor”. Her TV & Music career gave her two WIKTOR AWARDS nominations, the most prestigious awards in polish television. Her fun personality garnered the attention of NICKELODEON.

In 2014 she was asked to represent Northern Europe as a host at the annual KIDS CHOICE AWARDS in Los Angeles. This year she will be a host there for the third time.

KAZADI just wrapped shooting for leading role in her latest movie “BODO”, based on a true story about 1920’s & 1930’s era in american and polish cinematography. Set to be released in March 2016.

Music

After many years of being in the underground of Poland’s hip-hop & rock scene, KAZADI landed her deal with a major label in 2011. Singles such as

“Look Around”, “Hałas” & “Go Crazy”

produced by Jim Beanz (musical director of the hit show “Empire”, who also worked with such global stars as Britney Spears or Shakira) were a jump start to her solo music career.

Her 2012 single with French pop megastar Matt Pokora

“Wanna Feel You Now”

immediately became a hit in Poland (number one for three consecutive weeks) and has been aired in Belgium, Ukraine and France. The song landed her an NRJ Award nomination.

In May 2013 she has released her debut album “TRIP” and promoted it with a tour in Poland. Her second single from that album “Przerywam Sen” became the theme song for a tv show aired on music station VIVA. The videos for the singles gave her a total of 7 million views on Youtube and half a million followers across social media platforms.

This Summer KAZADI’s music has been aknowledged in Africa where she won an award for the best new act on the BILILY MUSIC VIDEO AWARDS. She also had the opportunity to perform on stage with her childhood Idol and huge star of the african music industry PAPA WEMBA.

Videos to “Live a little” and

“Shake the world” were directed by Mike Ho- the LA based director known for his videos with Chris Brown, Future, Mary J. Blige and Wiz Kalifa.

KAZADI has spent the last 9 months in LA working with Grammy nominated writers & producers such as Keith Harris (Madonna,Usher,Fergie), Colby O’Donis (Lady Gaga), Maejor (Justin Bieber), Stefano Langone (American Idol), Paperboyfabe (Kanye West, Ledisi, Game) & Dmadd (Nicki Minaj).

She completed an EP of 9 songs, each of which she co-wrote.

This is what she had to say about the process:

“DARK POP” is me – trully and fully – raw, emotional and real. I didn’t want to compromise, I spent a year writing these songs in solitude. I wanted to create a sound that would honestly express me and my feelings.

For a long time I couldn’t categorize the music I was doing. I grew up listening to heavy rock and at the same time to Mozart. As I grew as an artist and as a woman I started to love soul and R&B. What I do is a blend of those styles with a new electronic flare. Coming from northern Europe I have an unlimited love for nostalgic big melodies and strong hooks. Now when I’m asked to define my sound I say – DARK POP– name I created for my genre. While working on my second album I wanted to share what I have been doing for the past year, so this EP is a small gift from me to my fans.

Fashion

Being in the industry for so many years KAZADI’s fashion style has been a constant topic in the media. Her hair, clothes and even nails have been highly commented on.

She was named a fashion icon twice and has been a style advisor on various public occasions. KAZADI’s passion for fashion started early on when as a little girl she would put hours into preparing her school outfit which also would get her in trouble as she wasn’t affraid to experiment with grunge and punk culture. She became her School Principle’s nightmare as other girls would start dressing alike.

KAZADI’s hairstyles and fashion choices became an inspiration for many girls in Poland. It wasn’t long till she decided to create her own designs.
